This past Winter Break I went to Passion 2010 – a conference in Atlanta, GA for 22,000+ college students. The theme of this conference was Isaiah 26:8 which says, “Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and your renown are the desire of our hearts.”
Pastor Andy Stanley was one of the speakers, and his message was simply this: Are you more concerned with what you do or who you are?
Honestly, most of my life has been totally consumed with what I do. I have been known by my schedule, my accomplishments and my future goals. I have not focused on being the man God wants me to be to the extent that it has defined me. I have focused more on doing what God wants me to do – which is only wrong when it’s out of place on the priority list.
I have taken many opportunities to grow here in my time at Baptist Bible College. This school has innumerable opportunities for personal growth. However, I regret that I did not take as many opportunities as I could have.
If you are a disciple of Christ, focus on being the person God wants you to be. Then He will show you what you are to do. Baptist Bible College is a great place to work on personal growth. The only wisdom I would give is to take advantage of it while you are here – FULL advantage.
I like this. Good stuff.

haha some of the remarks most people put up crack me up, every so often i wonder if they in reality read the articles and threads before leaving your 2 cents or whether they actually read the title of the post and come up with the initial thought that pops into their heads. anyway, it is enjoyable to read through smart commentary from time to time in contrast to the identical, old oppinion vomit which i invariably notice on the web
